The other day, I was searching for something, and google's suggested, on-site answers took up 1/2 the first page. All wrong.
The actual search results were another 1/4 page of completely identical results, followed by google ad placed search results.
I thought to myself, they've finally done it. Real responses are no longer first page.
A lot of the cause for google getting crappy, is "ok google", another "all platforms are the same" form of sickness.
No, a desktop is not a phone. No, voice searching is not the same as phone, or desktop.
- foobarian 5y agoI was just thinking that they finally became Lycos. It's what all the search engines except Google looked like back in the early 2000s - ad laden cesspools of irrelevant search results and other content. And it's why we all switched to Google at the time.
- habibur 5y agoIt's time to disrupt the market. As Google can't compete with a newcomer that penalize ads on page.
- eitland 5y agoSeriously, yes. Moores law means a modern day 2007-style Google should be significantly less expensive to run now than back then. Also the most relevant patents are now free to use. 2021 Google is a sad story compared to 2007 Google and I'd actually pay to get back 2007 Google - ads included - meaning a double revenue source :-)
